GBP/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3218; (P) 1.3254; (R1) 1.3285; More….

GBP/USD’s fall extends to as low as 1.3133 so far. Intraday bias remains on the downside for 61.8% retracement of 1.2773 to 1.3651 at 1.3108. Firm break there will target a test on 1.2773 key support it’s still early to call for trend reversal as it’s staying well inside medium term channel. But a break of the channel support (1.2942) will build up the chance of the bearish case. On the upside, above 1.3221 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral first.

In the bigger picture, current development argues that the long term trend in GBP/USD has reversed. That is, a key bottom was formed back in 1.1946 on bullish convergence condition in monthly MACD. Current rise from 1.1946 will target 38.2% retracement of 2.1161 (2007 high) to 1.1946 (2016 low) at 1.5466 next. In any case, medium term outlook will now stay bullish as long as 1.2773 support holds.
